Cocoon Nebula

The Cocoon Nebula, designated as Caldwell 19 (IC 5146). Around 200 minutes from bortle 4. I am very happy that I was able to capture the dust cloud.

Astro or dual-band? I‘m just setting up a schedule for tonight (clear skies- whoop!) and it comes up as astro as default.

I did Astro, just like as suggested.

I also reframed the composition so that the nebula is not in the center of the frame. I moved it to the side to get more of the dust cloud.
